1/10th OF A SECOND -The front bumper and chrome
"frosting" of the grillwork collapses. Slivers of steel penetrate the
tree to a depth of 1 1/2 inches.

2/10ths OF A SECOND -The
hood rises and smashes into the windshield. Spinning rear wheels leave the
ground. The fenders come in contact with the tree, forcing the rear parts out
over the front doors. The driver's body continues to move forward at the
vehicle's original speed (20 times the normal force of gravity - his body weighs
3,200 pounds). The driver's legs ramrod straight, snapping at the knee joints.

3/10ths OF A SECOND -The driver's body is now off the seat, torso
upright, broken knee pressing against the dash board. The plastic and steel
frame of the steering wheel begins to bend under his terrible death grasp. His
head is now near the visor, his chest above the steering column.

4/10ths OF A SECOND -The car's front 24 inches have been
demolished, but the rear end is still traveling at about 35 miles per hour. The
driver's body is traveling 55 mile per hour. The half ton motor block crunches
into the tree.

5/10ths OF A SECOND -The driver's fear-frozen hands bend the
steering column into an almost vertical position. The force of gravity impales
him on the steering shaft. Jagged steel punctures the lung and intercostal
arteries. Blood spurts into his lungs.

6/10ths OF A SECOND -The driver's feet are ripped from his
tightly laced shoes. The brake pedal shears off at the floor boards, the chassis
bends in the middle, shearing body bolts. The driver's head smashed into the
windshield. The rear of the car begins its downward fall, spinning wheels
digging into the ground.

7/10ths OF A SECOND -The entire, writhing body of the car is
forced out of shape. Hinges tear, doors spring open. In one last convulsion, the
seat rams forward, pinning the driver against the steering shaft. Blood leaps
from his mouth, shock has frozen his heart.
